Job description

Trueline’s client, a fast-growing general contractor serving federal agencies and state and local governments across the West, is seeking a Senior Project Manager (Nevada Qualified Individual) based in the Las Vegas area. You’ll serve as the company’s construction leader and the qualified individual on its Nevada contractor’s license, partnering directly with ownership to run and grow the business. The role pays a base salary of $175,000-$225,000, plus a company truck, performance bonuses, and a path to profit-sharing.

The company has grown more than tenfold in the past several years, delivering projects for the Department of Defense, National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Energy, and other public agencies. Ownership is focused on finance and strategic growth, including future acquisitions. That makes this a rare chance for an entrepreneurial construction leader to become the operational backbone of a growing company, with a role that expands as the business does.

What You’ll Do as the Senior Project Manager:

• Serve as the qualified individual (QI) on the company’s Nevada contractor’s license and lead its construction operations
• Manage federal, state, and municipal projects ranging from about $100,000 to $10 million, from preconstruction through closeout
• Lead general contracting work across demolition, HVAC and mechanical, electrical, carpentry, and renovation scopes
• Manage subcontractors, suppliers, and field crews to deliver projects safely, on schedule, and on budget
• Oversee budgets, cost tracking, change orders, schedules, and project documentation
• Serve as the primary point of contact for government contracting officers, inspectors, and agency representatives
• Ensure compliance with federal contract requirements, safety standards, and licensing regulations
• Travel to project sites across Nevada and California, including military installations and federal facilities
• Partner with ownership on estimating, bidding strategy, and project selection to grow profitable work
• Help build and lead the construction team as the company grows

Must-Haves as the Senior Project Manager:

• An active Nevada B-2 contractor’s license, or a qualifying license you can use to obtain the B-2 quickly through reciprocity, such as an unrestricted Class B or an eligible California license
• Willingness to serve as the company’s qualified individual on its Nevada license
• A clean license history, with no disciplinary actions or complaints on record with the licensing board
• 8+ years of construction project management experience
• Significant federal or government project experience; commercial or residential experience alone won’t qualify
• A track record of managing projects from roughly $100,000 to $10 million
• Strong skills in subcontractor management, budgeting, scheduling, and problem-solving
• Ability to travel up to 50%, mostly within the Las Vegas area and across Nevada
• Based in, or willing to relocate to, the Las Vegas area (Sacramento may work for candidates licensed in both Nevada and California)

Nice-to-Haves as the Senior Project Manager:

• A California contractor’s license in addition to Nevada
• Experience on military installations or Department of Energy, National Park Service, or Bureau of Reclamation projects
• Established relationships with superintendents, crews, and subcontractors in Nevada or California
• Willingness to travel to California projects
• Ability to obtain access to secure federal sites

Our Client Offers:

• Base salary of $175,000-$225,000, depending on experience and licensing
• A company truck
• Performance bonuses
• A path to profit-sharing in the company once you’ve proven yourself
• Relocation assistance available for the right candidate
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 15 days of PTO to start
• Flexible, field-based work with no daily office commute
• Direct partnership with ownership and a central role in shaping the company’s future
• Significant growth opportunity as the company expands and pursues acquisitions
• Diverse, meaningful public-sector work on military bases, national parks, and federal facilities
